While we are kind of on the topic. Another thing that peeves me....and I'll probably offend people here, is topic headings that dont tell you what the topic is about
eg. "have you ever..." Grrrrr. I then have to open it to see if its something that I should read or not. I generally dont open them till much later on. Is it so hard to make the topic heading informative????

Thats my moan for the day ]]> Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:41:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=911598&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#911598 <![CDATA[no capitals. bothering anyone? : My grandmother taught me a good...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=911562&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#911562 Author: caitlynsmygirl

My grandmother taught me a good way to remember that rule (whether it is I or Me)

simply take the person's name out , say the sentence again and see if it makes sense
eg "Sarah and I went to the park "
"Sarah and me went to the park "

Take out Sarah , and " I " makes more sense

Misuse of "you're" and "your" do my head in. Plus when people put captions on FB photos and say things like "This is baby and I at the park". It's "baby and ME"!!

Wow, hot topic!!

I don't mind lack of capitals, and if I am holding a bubba I don't bother either. But most of the time I touch type so capitals are all part of the habit.

I am a grammar and spelling nazi, but am fairly tolerant online, and also appreciate that some people find it hard. I guess it's laziness and poor punctuation that bugs me the most. I hate the you're/your, its/it's, too/to/two, their/there/they're mistakes - that's the nazi part of me.

I also use "dot dot dot" excessively, which is probably poor grammar in itself!

And I despise text speak.

No caps doesn't bother me as long as your posts are still readable! I NEVER used caps until last year, so I'm not allowed to be bothered lol.

Lol is my filler word. I use it way too often, and very rarely am I actually laughing (see above :P). If I'm laughing I'll say something more, like rofflecopter. (Isn't the word "rofflecopter" awesome?)

Txt speak DOES bother me though. It takes me ages to read! I use predictive text, so now I struggle to read half of what my friends say most of the time. ]]> Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:05:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=908561&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#908561 <![CDATA[no capitals. bothering anyone? : ellabellame wrote:i&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=908197&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#908197 Author: High9

I'm chronic with the '...' too. And always use full words and punctuation in my texts. (Nana)

One thing that really irritates me is the massive overuse and misuse of apostrophes (apostrophe's).

But then, I am a rampant grammar freak. ]]> Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:34:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=908178&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#908178 <![CDATA[no capitals. bothering anyone? : lol, wow, 3 pages of comments!!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=908007&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#908007 Author: ellabellame

i don't mind spelling mistakes because, lets face it, we pretty much all make them every now and again. i can't stand no punctuation though, i got really frustrated when i read 'once were warriors' because there are no speech marks.

No capitalisation doesn't bother me at all. Especially now I've got a baby and have experienced how hard it is to add the extra capitals in 1 finger typing.

Bad spelling I notice but don't mind too much. Text language annoys me a lot. I do notice and get annoyed when bad spelling's used in a professional setting, such as a newsletter from a retailer.

I know I am probably guilty of a lot of things. I occasionally look back on things I have written ages ago and I am appalled at the amount of spelling mistakes, words missing, things just not making sense. I think I need to get in the habit of reading things through at least once before I post
My problem is I rely on the spell checker to much and if it doesn't pick it up then I don't notice.

I do notice myself going overboard with !!!!! and too

I am not too bothered by other peoples typos although I do notice when people use the wrong spelling/meaning of a word.

It doesnt bother me in the slightest ..

Sometimes I get "annoyed" when someone types a huge post referring to lots of other peoples comments, but they dont put who they are referring to, or quote, so its extremely hard to comprehend what on earth they are talking about.

Oh and a paragraph full of spelling mistakes does my head in too, the odd one I dont find so bad, but when its every second word it makes reading it an exercise in itself, its even worse when the person is complaining about not being able to get a certain job, or get into a certain course both of which would require some degree of articulation.]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:09:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=907378&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#907378 <![CDATA[no capitals. bothering anyone? : I write whole words and use punctuation...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=907374&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#907374 Author: cuppatea

I write whole words and use punctuation even in text messages, I want my 20c worth!

I don't mind no capitals and will write without them myself if I have a child helping me catch up on here. I touch type normally so the capitals just happen without me thinking about it. I prefer people to use correct spelling and grammar but it doesn't annoy me on here and I like people using extra full stops and so forth as it allows you to read it the way they were thinking it when they typed it. It really annoys me most other places though, like trademe ads, or worst still job ads. So not going to work for someone who can't even spell the job they are advertising.

Until I read this I would have thought it would bother me. Like caliandjack it's habit for me to type with initial caps so I just do it without thinking.

So it doesn't bother me on here but I HATE it in an email! I used to have people at work that typed with no capitals or with no punctuation or in text speak and it drove me insane! Particularly because it was a professional environment so there's an expectation that you do things the 'correct' way.

Doesn't bother me!! I only write in "a proper way" or whatever because got used to doing it for assignments. Like capitals, punctuation and spelling...

I usually notice a lot of spelling mistakes, but like everyone else figure they're doing something else (holding a baby, eating, whatever!) and I can usually work out what they're saying anyway.

It doesn't bother me online at all, it bothers me in person or in print though.

The only reason I use capitals etc is because I type quite quickly and I'm used to pushing the shift button as a force of habit. It would take a long time for me to re-learn no punctuation!

Bad spelling annoys me so much as does no punctuation, but I'm not about the get pippy over it on here - I'll have enough kids to teach proper grammar too at school that I can take it out on them ]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:24:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=907099&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#907099 <![CDATA[no capitals. bothering anyone? : im the laziest of lazys! lol im...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31110&PID=907042&title=no-capitals-bothering-anyone#907042 Author: BaAsKa
